House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Private Email Accounts Private Email Accounts Mr PICTON House of Assembly Kaurna Private Email Accounts Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (15:22): Supplementary to the Deputy Premier: if everybody is aware of the obligations, then why has the Hon. Stephen Wade been operating a server and admitted to receiving government emails through it? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The Deputy Premier has the call. The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Premier Attorney-General The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (15:22): The member asserts— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —that there has been a breach of his use of a private email. In fact, as the member probably already knows, if he actually looked on Mr Wade's website, it already identifies that if there is government business to be conveyed to him, a government address is provided and to be used, and if private material is to be conveyed to him, another address is provided. To suggest that there is an assertion that a minister of this government—in this case, the Hon. Stephen Wade—has in some way deliberately tried to subvert the records act when he, on his own material, probably more than anyone else— Mr Koutsantonis interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens can depart under standing order 137A. The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —has made it absolutely clear— The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The Deputy Premier will be seated for one moment. The member for West Torrens will leave for the remainder of question time. Thank you. The honourable member for West Torrens having withdrawn from the chamber: The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: The minister has made it absolutely clear on the auto-reply in relation to his communications with him as to which address that is to be referred to, so I would ask the shadow minister, if he hasn't already done so, to take note of that and cease such tawdry allegations. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Kaurna.
